Love this post. I’ve been itching to create that colour-coordinated-books thing for ages. Before I can though I need to:
1. buy a bigger flat
2. buy a big gorgeous bookcase
3. buy a lot more books and
4. explain to the husband why his sport books will NOT have a place in my beautiful colour coordinated bookcase.
One day it will be mine! x

I sometimes see shiny white-walled, minimalist flats online or in films and think how lovely and sleek they are; I wonder if I should have painted MY walls white…? And then I think about my personality (and reluctance to dust) and realise, no, colourful is much more fun.

gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! colour makes me so happy too. that kitchen is amazing! but you’re right, you can’t help life happening in a kitchen, especially with kids, and it would soon lose it’s loveliness. we are finally doing our yellow kitchen. just waiting for the door sample to arrive. i bloody hope we like it! have a lovely weekend. x

I love these photos. I am a lover of colour too – none of this white or beige minimalism for me! I would love a yellow front door, but our outside walls are red (I didn’t paint them – I swear!!), so not sure if yellow and red would be a bit too much!

ps: I’ve only just noticed that when I post comments on here using my iPhone the auto correct function changes the ‘blogspot’ part of my web address to ‘bloodspot’. Oh dear :/

That Living etc. bookcase picture also encouraged me to organise my bookshelves by colour. But then I realised I had lots of black, white and green books and hardly any red, pink or blue. When I found myself attracted to books by the colour of their spines rather than their contents I knew things had gone too far…

Love the candy- coloured kitchen!! I recently renovated ours and added a bright fuschia pink splashback but I would have never thought to have different-coloured doors. It’s so original!! I know there’s a chance of getting sick of it quite soon but doors can always be changed… anyway, thanks for posting it, it’s so inspiring!
